Cool illustration. You obviously have some drafting skills, this is clear and reads clearly, but I have to admit I don't really get it, other than that a koala ate pretzles and now he's thirsty, as one might expect.
I really like surreal humor and nonsequiters, but I can't tell if this is trying to be that or not. If its just funny because the idea of a koala even having a pretzel is funny, I think it would be funnier if the koala almost looked photo real, because the humor depends on the disconnect between a real wild koala having pretzles. If you want to go surreal, push it. Make the whole image really strange.
One of the funniest single images I think I've ever seen was a realistic illustration of a tiger firing a machine gun in the air. The idea of a tiger having a machine gun was funny enough, and they both looked real enough that the image was just absurd. I feel like that's the route you're going, I could be way off, just my thoughts.
haha! thanks so much for the crits, i didn't think everyone was going to get this. But it's nice to see that this could be off-the-wall enough to stand alone.
Awesome looking Koala! I would almost like it more without the caption. The strangeness of a Koala Bear cradling a bowl of pretzels and staring right at you is amazing.
